A harpoon is a long spear-like instrument used in fishing to catch fish or other large aquatic animals such as whales. A harpoon can also be used as a weapon.
History of the harpoon
The Greek historian Polybius (ca203 BC-120 BC), in his Histories, describes hunting for swordfish by using a harpoon with a barbed and detachable head. *
Whaling
For over 1000 years, the two flue harpoon was the primary weapon used in whaling around the world, though in the Arctic, natives used the more advanced toggling harpoon design. In the early 19th century the one flue harpoon was introduced, which reduced failed harpoonings due to the head cutting its way out of the body of the whale. In the mid-19th century, the toggling harpoon was adapted by Lewis Temple, using iron. The Temple toggle was widely used, and quickly came to dominate whaling.
